  1. Half needs to come from you and half needs to come from the car.  

         First the easy part, make sure your tires are properly inflated, that your fuel and air filters are clean and that you have regular oil changes. Clean out your car to reduce as much weight as possible.

          Now the hard part, avoid hard accelerations or braking try to coast as much as possible when coming to red lights or stops. On the highway keep your speed at 65 or under (I know it's lame but your car really has to work hard to overcome wind resistance past that speed.) Try not to idle your car to warm it up or cool it down, one hour of idling is approximately one gallon of gas. Finally try to maintain a constant speed as your automatic car is a lot better at maintaining a speed then it is accelerating up to one.

    Thought of one more, if you can invest in a GPS unit, they save both time and gas from getting lost!
